“…Although the commercially available existing educational tools for Correspondence control systems, people who are teaching automatic control system courses in classroom always search for simple, cheaper, and user friendly educational tools. An interactive MATLAB-based tool for teaching classical systems and controls as given in Reference [1] is developed to help both undergraduate and graduate student to use MATLAB in a more effective way to learn and simulate control system topics. A Java-based object-oriented programming environment is described in Reference [2] for use in control systems education.…”

A real-time simulator to accompany automatic control system courses is introduced. The design and realization methods and processes are discussed. The simulator is basically a computer-controlled system that implements the developed user friendly virtual interface software to control the speed of a small size DC motor. The virtual interface includes digital implementation models of classical proportional, integral, derivative, and all combinations of them as well as a fuzzy logic controller. The user is able to select and adjust the parameters of any desired controller that is defined and represented virtually.

“…MATLAB is a useful tool for demonstrating and teaching engineering concepts, e.g. to teach dynamic systems and control 5 or acoustics 6 . On the other hand, engineering concepts tend to be more concrete for students to understand, thus providing an effective means to develop an understanding of more abstract programming concepts.…”

This project introduces a method of teaching undergraduate students MATLAB programming within a typical engineering lecture course, dynamics. This particular course was chosen because its content offers natural connections between engineering and programming concepts. The MATLAB programming instruction and assignments were approached through the context of the dynamics course material. This allowed students to make connections between their typical dynamics course content and the more abstract programming concepts which can sometimes be difficult for them to understand. This idea was indicated to be effective through anonymous student comments from student evaluations.

“…Traditionally, systems and controls has been taught using computer simulation [SI, [13]. While simulation is a crucial tool for developing insight and deep understanding, one might argue that the traditional method of merely plotting and analyzing simulated data is not effective for visualizing the behavior of complex dynamical systems.…”

This educational research endeavor describes the development of a Windows/C++ PC environment designed to visualize and evaluate the performance of a Twin Lift Helicopter System (TLHS) under automatic control. The TLHS consists of two Sikorsky UH-60A Blackhawk helicopters, jointly lifting a heavy payload. The program-user interface permits users to change critical model and control law parameters in real-time. TLHS and control system dynamics are numerically computed and used to update graphics and animation on the screen. The utility of the program for evaluating TLHS performunce and teaching fundamental systems and control concepts is discussed.
